We were pleasantly surprised at how clean and friendly everything and everyone was at the Resort. The room was practically spotless and felt like we were at home. I know it's always hard to keep water pressure up in large buildings but it was like a TV show where you lather/soap up and have only a drip to rinse off. That was almost funny.
